30 minutes after I took this shot it was blowing so hard offshore we didn't want to paddle out for fear of getting swept out to sea. It was insane.

ElCap - 10-30-2011 at 02:25 PM

I'm guessing San Juanico . . . or somewhere farther north?

No one surfing and you're keeping secret where the location is? You new to surfing? Must be a scarcity issue. Gotta hide this place from the brother surfers. Gremmie.

Lee,
Theres no name of the spot posted. No landmarks. Just a picture. That's it. What's your problem?

It's somewhere north of San Juanico.

spectaular looking waves.

David K - 10-30-2011 at 05:12 PM

Yup and we can only enjoy the photo... of their private playground. :rolleyes:

Thanks for at least sharing a pretty photo even without naming the point or area.

Seriously, nobody is storming into 'dangerous' Mexico, in this depressed economy... Not everyone here is a surfer... What few here who are, won't likely all be going to the very same break on the very same day... even if 1 or 2 did, you can't surf unless you are the only one there?

You have every right to not say where the photo was taken, but if you are only not disclosing because you think Nomad will cause it to become crowded, that would quite a surprise... and a great benefit to Mexicans desperate for business!

Ateo - 10-30-2011 at 06:33 PM

David K,

I agree with your assessment of the amount of surfers here on nomad. If I named this spot it would have very little effect, but its still a secret spot known to only those who've put in time and sweat and flat tires. I had 3 flat tires coming in here, all at once! :lol:

So, I won't name it....someday there will be plenty of people there. Until that day, I'll keep it a secret.

As for helping the economy, there's nothing around here! We saw not one soul the entire 5 days we were there. :lol:

BooJumMan - 10-30-2011 at 07:29 PM

Nice shot!!!

Photo is dated 4/7/10, taken at 8:59AM... Is that correct?

Pompano - 10-30-2011 at 07:47 PM

ateo...one awesome photo...I saved it to admire for a bit.

The location? I don't know, but....I can gaurantee I've flown over it! But that's a few thousand miles of beach to pick from...

Trip out. Trying to figure out where the date showed up. Was trying to get as anonymous as possible.. This photo was taken in February 2010. Where is the date showing? Maybe my iPad won't let me double click on the photo and go to photobucket......

Curt63 - 10-30-2011 at 08:17 PM

Real nice

Yes, my name is Jon. How did you find out? Ha ha. I'm not hiding, just wondering.....

jakecard - 10-30-2011 at 08:35 PM

The same way we know that you use an Olympus camera. We're watching you . . . . Jon!

Have I no anonymity? Olympus is correct! Glad that camera doesn't record GPS. Or does it?

Lee - 10-30-2011 at 09:11 PM

More secrets for Nomads only.

LOL! Oh man, funny stuff.

Yeah if you right click and go to properties, you can see the info on the photo. I was just curious as to what time of year you took the photo to narrow down my guesses. Obviously I would never post those guesses online..... it does make for a fun game though. You did perfect in not showing any land !!

Hey, we both are in Oceanside... so, everyone knows each other here, right? :light:

I will send you a u2u...

good score, bud!

woody with a view - 10-31-2011 at 10:51 AM

thanks for cropping. here's some of the fun i just returned from. while not as epic, empty perfection is the goal, no? :light:

Curt63 - 10-31-2011 at 11:06 AM

Looks familiar!

wessongroup - 10-31-2011 at 11:51 AM

"empty perfection is the goal, no?" = yes ... and thanks for all the great shots .. of "those" places..

Mexitron - 10-31-2011 at 12:03 PM

Nice! I know those offshore winds quite well---broken tents, shade structures blown off into the water...

Yeah I didn't get the headland in the shot for a reason. Would've been a slight giveaway.

Yes. It was unbelievable how much wind there was. Stuff was blowing into the ocean. Tent annihilation. We ended up playing bocce and drinking tecates all day cuz it was unrideable.

wind?
